The Customs Policy

You are allowed to export from the Czech Republic without any permission articles of noncommercial nature, i.e., articles that are, as to their kind and quantity, imported exclusively to meet the personal needs of these persons and members of their families or which are to be given as presents. The value of the exported articles is not limited.

If the exported articles are subject to legal regulations, such as veterinary regulations, regulations concerning protection of cultural values, museum and gallery pieces, health and environmental protection, security, etc., the customs officers will require export permission pursuant to these regulations.

Be careful when you buy antique or museum quality art. You will probably have a trouble with the customs on the way out. In general, everything made before 1920 may be non-exportable.

Import of gifts is permitted without duty and VAT if the quantity and value do not exceed 6000 Kc ($180).

When importing tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, duty free import is limited to 200 cigarettes or 100 cigarillos or 50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco or reasonable combination of the above.
